Study summary

Nonpuerperal mastitis (NPM), mainly including Plasma cell mastitis (PCM) and Granulomatous mastitis (GM), which clinical presentation is an accessible and painful breast mass accompanied by skin redness and swelling, nipple retraction and fistula formation . Much progress has been made in exploring the etiology and pathogenesis of NPM, while the exact etiology remains unknown, NPM is thought to arise from interactions between genetic susceptibility factors, epigenetic effects, and various environmental factors. While microbiota as an environment factor to some inflammatory and autoimmune diseases accept widespread attention, if gut microbiota also as a risk factor for NPM, it is worthy to be considered.

Read the detailed description

NPM is common in young women of reproductive age with a history of lactation and childbearing . The main clinical presentation is an accessible and painful breast mass accompanied by skin redness and swelling, nipple retraction and fistula formation

. The imaging of NPM is not specific, with NPM mimicking breast cancer in imaging . NPM etiology is associated with several factors, such as autoimmunity, bacterial infections , estrogen and progesterone imbalance , and hyperprolactinemia . In recent years, NPM has become a common benign breast disease, especially in the Mediterranean region and developing countries in Asia, such as China . Currently, the associations between bacterial infections and NPM are among the important issues attracting research interest. This study tried to reveal the roles of gut microbiota in NPM. Further understanding of the roles of gut microbiota in this disease may lead to the development of methods for personalized therapy.

Study population

Study Population are aged from 18 to 65 years#which divided into 2 groups: NPM group and Control group

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Aged 18 to 65 years
  • Patients of NPM

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy
  • Lactation
  • Cigarette smoking
  • Alcohol addiction
  • Hypertension
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Lipid dysregulation
  • > 27 \<18.5
  • Recent (\< 1 months prior) use of antibiotics, probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotic, hormonal medication, laxatives, proton pump inhibitors, insulin sensitizers or Chinese herbal medicine
  • History of disease with an component, such as multiple sclerosis(MS), rheumatoid arthritis, irritable bowel disease(IBS), or irritable bowel syndrome(IBD)
  • History of or any gastrointestinal tract surgery
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Microbial profiling of Nonpuerperal Mastitis patients and Healthy controls

    16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid(rRNA) gene sequencing technique and illumina MiSeq platform were applied to investigate the difference of gut microbiota richness, diversity and composition between NPM and Healthy controls,and revealing the special gut microbiota profiling data of NPM.

    Time frame: Baseline

Secondary outcomes

  1. Metabolic profiling of Nonpuerperal Mastitis patients and Healthy controls

    Fecal samples were prepared for Ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS) to investigate the difference metabolites and metabolic pathway between NPM and Healthy controls

    Time frame: Baseline

Other outcomes

  1. Serum Levels of Immune factor

    Elisa technique was applied to detect the levels of serum Immune factor (IL-2/IL-4/IL-6/IL-17/IL-10/Lipopolysaccharide) in NPM patients and Healthy controls

    Time frame: Baseline

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 21, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
